Otter had a good run in Dallas but you could tell his time was up when Gagliardi was talking about the veteran problem, and then dealt Ribeiro. Combine that with the rumours swirling around Ott at the deadline and you just knew it was inevitable.

So we dump Ott on the Sabres, AND managed to pawn Pardy off on them too.

Truth be told i don't watch too many Stars games, most of what i saw from Pardy was back in his Calgary days. He could have regressed last season for all i know; i agree he's overpaid at 2M and absolutely redundant now that you guys have Rome. Rome is better.

I'm very pleased with this. The "casual fan" won't like it, but whatever. Ott's production can be replaced by someone else. We will miss his face offs but just have to make due. You'd always hear him commended for his work ethic and being the "rah rah" guy on the team, but it was obvious when he was taking shifts or even a game off. Then you're just left with a pretty average third liner who takes way too many dumb penalties with a bad league wide reputation. Getting rid of party in the d-zone Pardy's contract is sweet too.

Really a new team we will be seeing. I wish Otter a ton of luck in Buf, really sad to see him leave us but the unnecessary penalty taking will be gone. And also no more Pardy!! Welcome to Dallas Derek!

This oddly reminds me of the goligoski trade, except we didn't get crappy value. Ott is what he is, a good 3rd line left wing. Pardy is a salary dump. Roy is the most talented player in this deal who might do well here now that he isn't being constantly dogged by Lindy Ruff. We can all ***** and moan about getting younger until the cows come home, but it looks like Joe wanted us to be in playoff contention. I think we're a better team than last year already now.

Morrow and Robi to go. Maybe package them for some picks and someone who can win a faceoff.

Send em to Anaheim for Bobby Ryan. Make Modano promise to hang out with him every weekend and in exchange Ryan signs a 15 yr deal that only pays him 3 million per year.

(Hey we got rid of Pardy, I'm thinking I may as well try to wish for something else and see if it happens.)
